Generator Excitation Control and Generator Capability Excitation Control Basics  A generator excitation system provides the energy for the magnetic field that keeps the generator in synchronism with the power system. Two types: those using ac generators as power source and those using transformers.

Stator Phase Protection

20

Stator Phase Protection This is achieved by: 

Differential Relaying (87)



Turn Fault Protection (for split-phase generators)



Overcurrent (thermal)



RTDs

21

Differential Protection 

High-Speed protection that can detect three-phase, phase to phase and double-phase to ground faults.



Single-line to ground faults are not normally detectable unless its neutral is solidly or low-impedance grounded.



Will not detect a turn-to-turn fault within the same phase



Both sides of the generator should be of the same ratio, rating, connected burden, and preferably have the same manufacturer.



It could be high-impedance type, low-impedance type and selfbalancing differential schemes.

24

Overcurrent Protection 

For small generators this may be the only protection applied.



With solid earthing, it will provide some protection against earth faults



For a single generator, CTs must be connected to neutral end of stator winding. Generator 3

25

Overcurrent Protection Some helpful points in setting overcurrent relays: From C37.102-2005:  Use IOC and TOC unit having an EI characteristic.  IOC is set to 115% FLC and is used to torque-control TOC unit  TOC unit is set to 75%-100% FLC and a time settings operating 7sec @ 218% FLC or coordinate with downstream relay. From ABC’s of Overcurrent Protection:  Set protection above FLC and above decrement curve in the lowest decade.  Set protection below overload curve.  Set protection to intersect with the decrement curve in the second lowest decade.

26

Overcurrent Protection

27

Stator Ground Protection

28

Stator Ground Protection This is achieved by (depends on the grounding method): 

Differential Relaying (87N)



100% Stator Ground Fault Protection using voltage relays



Overcurrent

29

Stator Ground Fault Protection 

Stator grounding determines the generator performance during fault conditions.



If solidly grounded, it will deliver very high current to a SLG fault at its terminals with no neutral voltage shift, therefore equipment damage is severe.



If ungrounded, it will deliver a negligible amount current during a SLG fault at its terminals with fill neutral voltage shift which could cause failure of generation equipment insulation.

30

Stator Ground Fault Protection 

Because of this, stator windings on major generators are grounded in a manner that will reduce fault current and overvoltages and yet provide a means of detecting the ground fault condition quickly enough to prevent burning of core iron.

31

Low-Impedance Stator Grounding

32

Low-Impedance Stator Grounding

33

Low-Impedance Grounding 

The grounding resistor or reactor is selected to limit the generator contribution to an SLG fault to range of currents between 200A and 150% of rated load current.



Supplementary protection is provided by using 87N

34

Low-Impedance Grounding

35

High-Impedance Grounding 

High-resistance generator neutral grounding uses a distribution transformer with a primary rating greater than or equal to the line-to-neutral voltage rating of the generator and a secondary rating of 120 or 240V.



Power dissipated in the resistor is approximately equal to the reactive volt-amperes in the zero-sequence capacitive reactive of the generators, windings of any transformers connected to generator terminals.

36

High-Impedance Grounding   An

SLG fault is generally limited to 3 to 25 primary

amperes. 

Others only uses resistor aside from transformers but the fault current is limited to 5A.

37

High-Impedance Grounding

38

Overvoltage/Overcurrent Schemes 

59G works on fundamental frequency (3V0)



Typically set at 5V



Measures maximum at terminal fault and decreases at faults moves toward the neutral



Must be coordinated with other protection that works on ground faults 39

100% Stator Ground Fault Protection 

59G can provide protection for only about 80% to 95% of the stator windings.



This is due to generator construction imperfections and subsequent small amounts of zero-sequence current that will flow in the generator ground.



This small amount of zero-sequence current makes it impossible for conventional ground fault detection relays to remain selective when set too low low..

  Additional

ground fault protection is required. required.

40

100% Stator Ground Fault Protection 



Protection can be done using: 

Third-harmonic voltage-based techniques



Neutral or residual subharmonic voltage injection

Third-harmonic voltages components are present at the terminals of nearly every machine to varying degrees; they arise due to the nonsinusoidal nature of rotor flux and vary based in machine design and manufacturer.



These voltages are used in detecting faults on the generator to provide protection.

41

100% Stator Ground Fault Protection 

 





3rd-harmonic voltage is dependent on operating conditions of the generator. There is a point where the 3 rdharmonic is zero. For a ground fault at the neutral, 3 rd harmonic decreases as fault approaches to neutral For a ground fault at the terminal, 3rd harmonic decreases as fault approaches to the terminals. The 3rd harmonic levels should be measured with the generator connected and disconnected from the transformer before enabling 3 rd harmonic protection. 42

100% Stator Ground Fault Protection Third-Harmonic Undervoltage

43

100% Stator Ground Fault Protection Third-Harmonic Undervoltage 

Since for a fault near the neutral, the level of thirdharmonic voltage at the neutral decreases.



Therefore undervoltage relay at the neutral could be used.



It is tuned at 180Hertz to measure third harmonic.



Set to overlap with 59G settings.



Sometimes, it is supervised with OC relay, real or reactive power and breaker contact.

44

100% Stator Ground Fault Protection Third-Harmonic Overvoltage

45

100% Stator Ground Fault Protection Third-Harmonic Overvoltage 

Since for a fault near the neutral, the level of thirdharmonic voltage at the terminal increases.



Therefore overvoltage relay (59T) at the terminal could be used.



It is tuned at 180Hertz to measure third harmonic.



Set to overlap with 59G settings.

Field Fault Protection

49

Field Fault Protection 

Field circuit is an isolated DC system.



Insulation failure at a single point:







No fault current, therefore no danger



Increase chance of second fault occurring

Insulation failure at a second point: 

Shorts out part of field winding



Heating



Flux distortion causing violent vibration of rotor

Desirable to detect presence of first earth fault and give an alarm. 50

System Backup Protection

53

System Backup Protection Backup protection is divided into: 

Phase-fault protection 

(21) Distance relays



(51V) Voltage controlled/restraint overcurrent relays



Earth fault protection 

(51G) Ground OC Relays

Sometimes (46) is also used as backup which provides unbalanced fault  protection backup. 54

System Backup Protection

55

System Backup Protection 51V 

Use of simple OC relay is not recommended.



Voltage Restrained 

Operating characteristics is continuously varied. depending on measured volts.



Voltage Controlled 

Relay switches between fault characteristic and load characteristic depending on measured volts.

56

System Backup Protection Distance Phase Backup Protection 

Most common type of phase system backup protection.



Two zones are applied with mho characteristic.



If the generator is connected where there is no phase shift ( wye-wye transformer or directly connected), the relay will accurately measure the impedance



If the generator is connected to delta-wye transformer, where there is phase shift, auxiliary PT is required to compensate the phase shift.



If no aux. PT, use compensator distance relay. 57

System Backup Protection Distance Phase Backup Protection Setting Guidelines 

Set the impedance relay to the smallest of the three following criteria:  120 percent of longest line (with infeed). If the unit is connected to a breaker-and-a-half bus, this percent is calculated using the length of the adjacent line.  50 to 66.7 percent of load impedance (200 to 150 percent of the generator capability curve) at the machine-rated power factor.  80 to 90 percent of load impedance (125 to 111 percent of the generator capability curve) at the relay maximum torque angle (MTA).

58

System Backup Protection Backup Ground Protection 

Backup ground protection is set to pickup for ground faults at the end of all lines out of the station



Set to coordinate with the slowest ground fault protection on the system.

60

Abnormal Frequency Protection (81)

61

Abnormal Frequency Protection



Stable system is when Power Input = Power of all loads + Losses in the system



When there is a change between the this relationship, abnormal system frequency arises.



Underfrequency condition occurs as a result of sudden reduction in input power



Overfrequency condition occurs as a results sudden loss of load or key interties exporting power.

62

Abnormal Frequency Protection

Major considerations associated with operating a generating plant at an abnormal frequency: 

Protection of equipment from damage that could result from operation at an abnormal frequency.



Prevention of inadvertent tripping of the generating unit for a recoverable abnormal frequency condition that does not exceed the plant equipment design limits.

63

Abnormal Frequency Protection Conformance to IEC 60034:2007 

Some turbine generators are designed to accommodate frequency voltage characteristics from IEC 600343:2007, Rotating Electrical Machines-Part 3.



This standard requires generators to deliver continuously rated output at the rated power factor over the range of ±5%

in voltage and

±2%

in frequency. (61.2 Hz and

58.8Hz)

64

Abnormal Frequency Protection Conformance to IEC 60034:2007

65

Abnormal Frequency Protection Conformance to IEC 60034:2007 

The standard recommends that operation outside the shaded are “be limited in extent, duration and frequency of occurrence.”



The manufacturer could therefore impose time restrictions for example below 95% or above 103% of rated frequency.



Goal of frequency protection scheme is to return the frequency to the continuous IEC operating frequency range (98% to 102%). 66

Abnormal Frequency Protection

67

Overexcitation and Overvoltage Protection (24 / 59)

68

Overexcitation and Overvoltage 

Overexcitation occurs whenever the ratio of the voltage to frequency (V/Hz) applied to the terminal exceeds design limits. IEEE standards have established the ff. limits: 

Generators, 1.05pu at the output terminals (generator base)



Transformers, 1.05pu at the terminals at rated load or 1.1pu at no load



These limits apply unless manufacturers state otherwise.

69

Overexcitation and Overvoltage 

When V/Hz ratios are exceeded, saturation of the magnetic core of the generator or connected transformers can occur, and stray flux will be induced into non laminated components.



Note that overexcitation protection on a generator or its it s connected transformer is different from field overexcitation.



Excessive overvoltage of a generator will occur when the level of dielectric field stress exceeds the insulation capability. 70

Overexcitation and Overvoltage 

Not all overvoltage condition will be detected by V/Hz relay.



It is general practice to provide overvoltage relaying to alarm, or in some cases, trip the t he generators from these high dielectric stress levels.

Loss-of-Excitation Protection (40)

75

Loss-of-Field Protection 

Causes of loss-of-field: 



 Accidental trip of field breaker



Field open circuit



Field short circuit



Voltage regulator system failure



Loss of supply to excitation system

For most generators, the unit will overspeed and operate as an induction generator. It will supply power but takes reactive power from the system. 76

Loss-of-Field Protection 

On loss-of-field, apparent impedance of fully loaded machine travels from loaded value in the 1 st quadrant to the 4th quadrant close to –X axis at value just above the direct –axis transient reactance (about 2-7 seconds).



Final impedance point depends on initial load, varies between Xd’/2 at full load to direct-axis synchronous reactance Xd at no load.



Locus of impedance trajectory depends on system impedance

77

Loss-of-Field Protection

78

Loss-of-Field Protection For small and less important machines, a single-zone offset mho is used to detect this condition. For larger machines, two-zone offset mho is used. 



Smaller Circle (#1) 

Diameter of 1.0 pu impedance on machine base



“Small” “almost instantaneous” time delay

Negative-Sequence Current(46)

81

Negative-Sequence Protection 

In the real world, I A does not necessarily equal to I B and IC



Unbalances are caused by:





System asymmetries



Unbalanced loads



Unbalanced system faults



Open phases

Produce negative-sequence currents-induce a double frequency current

82

Negative-Sequence Protection  I2 crosses

Negative-Sequence Protection

86

Anti-motoring or Reverse Power (32R)

87

Generator Motoring Occurs when the energy supply to the prime mover is cut off while the generator is still on the line. A primary indication of motoring is the flow of real power into the generator. Estimated power required to motor the idling prime mover is:

88

Out-of-Step Protection (78)

89

Out-of-Step Protection 

When a fault occurs on the power system, the generator can begin to accelerate due to differences in the mechanical power into the generator and the electrical power at the generator terminals.



If the fault is not cleared quickly, this acceleration will result in the generator rotor voltage advancing beyond 90 degrees with respect to the generator terminal voltage.

  At

this point, power flow into the generator and the rotor angle

will continue to advance until is aligned with the next pole. This is known as slipping a pole or loss of synchronism. 90

Out-of-Step Protection

91

Out-of-Step Protection 

Adverse Effects 

High peak currents and off-frequency operation (slipping)



Winding stresses



Pulsating Torques



Mechanical resonances



Standard generator protection will not detect loss-of-sychronism



Standard transmission line protection will not detect loss-ofsynchronism



If electrical center is between the GSU into the generator, out-ofstep protection should be applied at the machine terminals 92

Out-of-Step Protection Determination of Electrical Center



Electrical center is the point in the system where the impedance between the sources is equal.



Electrical center = (Xd’ + Xt + Xs) / 2

Loss-of-Potential (60)

102

Loss-of-Potential 

Loss of the voltage transformer (VT) signal can occur because of a number of cases, most commonly fuse failure.



It could be VT or wiring failure, an open circuit in the draw-out assembly, an open contact due to corrosion or blown fuse



Such loss can cause protective relay misoperation or failure or generator voltage regulator runaway, which can lead to generator overexcitation



It is important to detect loss-of-potential condition, sometimes called, fuse loss (60FL)

103

Loss-of-Potential

104

Synchronism Check and Auto Synchronizing (25)

105

Synchronism Check and Auto Synchronizing 

Synchronism Check 

Checks the generator system frequency, voltage magnitude, and phase angle be in alignment



Typical parameters call for no more than 6RPM error, 2% voltage magnitude difference, and no more than 10 deg phase angle error before closing the breaker

106

Synchronism Check and Auto Synchronizing 

Auto Synchronizing (25A) 

Checks the generator system frequency, voltage magnitude, and phase angle be in alignment



It involves sending voltage and speed raise and lower commands to the voltage regulator and prime governor.



When the system is in synchronism, the autosync relay is sometimes designed to send a close command in advance of the zero phase angle error to compensate for breaker close 107

Tripping Modes

109

Tripping Modes 

Simultaneous Tripping 

Provides the fastest means of isolating the generator



Used for all internal generator faults and severe abnormalities in the generator protection zone.



Generator Tripping 

Does not shutdown the prime mover and is used where it may be possible to correct the abnormality quickly, permitting a rapid reconnection of the machine to the system.

110

Tripping Modes 

Unit Separation 

Initiates only the opening of generator breakers



Recommended when maintaining the unit auxiliary loads connected to the generator is desirable.



Sequential Tripping 

Used for prime mover problems where high-speed tripping is not a requirement.



1. turbine valves, 2. generator breakers 3. field breaker and load transfer of loads.

111

Tripping Modes 

These tripping scheme must be review and applied according to the present generator application



Selection would depend on the ff: 

Type of prime mover



Impact of the sudden loss of output power on the electrical system and prime mover
